Why only 60? Get a nice 100gb harddrive. 100 is a nice round number, much nicer than 60.

I love the laptop.

So far haven't had a single problem with it, and it runs so much smoother than my desktop pc in almost every aspect except gaming. (Well, obviously - it's just a laptop) - Though not saying you can't game on it; it runs Half-Life 2 and BF2 just peachy.

The dual core really makes things much nicer for multitasking... And it more than compensates for the lower clock speed in almost all cases. Along with the two gigs of ddr2 ram, it's handled everything I can throw at it. I usually have a ton of processor and ram intensive apps open at once, no problem, no slowdown. I just wish windows would have some method of allocating processes to a certain core automatically instead of having to do it manually.

As far as battery life goes, I got about 3 hours of life out of it. After about now 60 or so charge cycles i'm down to about 2 to 2 and a half but I'm not complaining, it's good for what it is. *I keep the processor at full speed and I have the x1400 set for best performance, not for best battery life, as well as keeping the WiFi on whenever the laptop's on.*

It's not the lightest thing out there, but it's not as heavy as say, an alienware laptop. My one complaint is that I hate hate hate hate hate TFT's... They're magnets for airborne particles and with me using this in the shop and at home with two longhair cats, I really wish I could swap it out with an LCD. I'm also yet to find a way to get rid of the streaks caused by moisture getting onto the screen from when I tried wiping some cat fur off the first day, but that's really all I don't like about it. For $1,500 i'm very happy with it.


And to think, I was going to buy a macbook pro instead, with 512mb of ram and an 80gb hdd for $500 more than I got this baby for.

Re: What speed(s) are your computers

1.8 GHz Intel Celeron Processor
320 MB RAM
3.5 floppy drive is currently out of commission

That's all I can remember off the top of my head (I'm on a school computer right now, so I can't easily check).

Re: What speed(s) are your computers

Yeah, my computer's aging... don't really have the funds to update it though.
2.53 Ghz P4 proc (only 533mhz bus!!)
512 mb ram (my mobo only has two slots!)
9800 pro (only reason I can play Homeworld 2, Rise of Nations, KOTOR 2...)
and, /*drumroll*/
a broken floppy drive!! Yay!
However, my sound system is killer - Audigy 2 ZS and a Logitech 680 system.

I gave up on buying bleeding edge in highscool. I realized that there were better things to spend my money on, like car payments.

I would contest that my server could do the same if not more. Dual AMD 2000MP.

Do you have any pics or links to pics of this laptop and its components?

I'll try to upload some pics soon but I only have my 1.3 megapixel camera phone available and that is at LG for replacement.

It'll most likely be up here by the end of build, if not, than as soon as i can.
